Chapter 431 Wang Li's Basketball Performance

"Wang Li, welcome to the beautiful ancient oriental country, welcome to the prosperous Shanghai!!"

"We all support you, come on, you are the best in the world!!"

"Wang Li, you have tens of millions of fans here!!"

Various signboards and welcome banners around the airport are filled with slogans of this type.

Wang Li was deeply moved. Although he was an Englishman now, he was still Chinese at heart. These Chinese compatriots were the loveliest people. He had done almost nothing in China, but these people still supported him unswervingly.

For him, as a fellow descendant of the dragon, these fans can give him a sense of familiarity, a feeling he could not experience when he was in Europe. Now the scene at the airport made him finally understand how popular he is in China. This popularity made him feel a little guilty, after all, he had done almost nothing for China.

Looking at the cute and crazy fans around him and the smiles on their faces, Wang Li took off his sunglasses and golf cap, walked out of the aisle generously, and waved to the fans as a greeting.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately reached a climax. Seeing Wang Li appear in person, the fans went crazy!

There was a sudden burst of cheers in the airport. Every fan welcomed Wang Li with the loudest shouts. They wanted Wang Li to hear them with their loudest voices, that was all.

This situation even brought the airport to a standstill for a moment, and many airport staff members, after hearing that superstar Wang Li had got off the plane, also joined the fans' line.

At this time, Wang Li was also a little excited. Looking at so many Chinese fans, he couldn't help but walk out of the passage directly, get close to these fans, and satisfy their requests for autographs and photos one by one.

I have to say that the quality of Chinese fans is pretty good. At least after getting an autograph, they will leave and give their seats to others - they are really easy to satisfy!

There was even a fan who became extremely excited after only speaking one sentence to Wang Li.

In this situation, Rita and the Real Madrid staff were of course surrounded. After nearly two hours of fighting, when Wang Li himself felt a little tired, the number of fans at the airport still did not decrease, which made him feel powerless.

There was no way. Although he wanted to satisfy the fans' requests one by one, he could only give up some of them. After all, he was just a person, not an autograph machine.

At this time, several celebrities were also watching this scene around, including Cai Yilin. She only now realized that this handsome boy was actually the legendary superstar worth 200 million euros!

In the eyes of these stars in the entertainment industry, there is some distance between ordinary athletes and them. Even those athletes who can win gold medals in the Olympics, that’s nothing, right?

Those athletes are indeed worthy of pride, but their fame is far less than that of stars. Fame is very important in the entertainment industry, and it is a very important criterion.

And these football players from the ancient Eastern countries are even worse in their eyes. It is estimated that there are few football players in the ancient Eastern countries who have a good reputation.

Therefore, these celebrities who are doing well in the entertainment industry look down on football players.

However, foreign superstars are completely different.

Not to mention how much their salaries are, in foreign countries, many football stars are much more famous than celebrities. If female celebrities want to gain more fame, they have to have some scandals with these football stars. This is the difference between Europe and the ancient Eastern countries.

In Cai Yilin's opinion, the black-haired boy in front of her was even more "famous". In just one year, his fame was much greater than that of some big stars in the entertainment industry in the ancient Eastern countries who had been in the industry for several years or even more than ten years.

For example, now, he just got off the plane and came to the ancient oriental country to participate in some business activities, but even so, there are so many fans coming to pick him up at the airport just to see him.

Many fans also saw Cai Yilin just now, and some of them had an urge to come forward and ask for her autograph, but when they saw Wang Li getting off the plane, they immediately changed their targets. This left only a few fans in front of Cai Yilin, and some of them kept looking back at her.

This made her extremely insecure, and there was a hint of jealousy creeping into her heart.

Normally, she hopes to have fewer fans so that she can save a lot of trouble, but now she has a competitive mentality and hopes to have more fans.

"Isn't I just a football player? What's so great about that? Next year, I will be more popular than you!" Cai Yilin glared in Wang Li's direction, encouraged herself in her heart, shook her head, picked up her small bag, and walked out of the airport with her agent.

But in fact, Wang Li never paid attention to her at all. It was all her own imagination.

This woman is so arrogant.

Under the escort of airport security and the police who arrived temporarily, after another half an hour's effort, Wang Li China broke away from the crazy fans and successfully walked out of the airport, but fell into another trouble.

'Real Madrid superstar Wang Li appeared at Shanghai Pudong International Airport'. This news had spread throughout the ancient oriental country more than an hour ago. Officials in Shanghai also heard the news.

To them, Wang Li is not only a half-Chinese basketball star, but also a hub for the ancient oriental country to develop friendly foreign relations, absorb advanced foreign technology, introduce foreign capital, and so on.

So, these officials suddenly had an idea and decided to invite Wang Li to dinner.

In their opinion, Wang Li looked and sounded like a real Chinese, so he certainly couldn't be treated like other foreign stars, so they actually came up with a local invitation.

This invitation made Wang Li feel puzzled. After all, he was just a football star, not a British government official. So why would these government officials invite him to dinner?

Wang Li really didn't want to go to such an occasion.

However, Rita's words made Wang Li change his mind - "You have a basketball team in Zhejiang."

This basketball team can be said to be Wang Li's base and his only investment project in China. Although he has no idea of ​​developing it for the time being, the team belongs to him anyway. There will definitely be no harm in building good relations with the government officials of these ancient oriental countries.

So, at noon, Wang Li mingled with these senior officials.

But in fact, the two sides had no common topics at all, and Wang Li was just answering the questions casually. These government officials pretended to care about him, and he followed suit, pretending to be stupid and ignorant. Then he gave each of them an autograph and a jersey as a gift. These did not cost any money, so Wang Li did not care.

At the dinner, Rita, who was somewhat worldly-wise, mentioned that Wang Li had a football team in Zhejiang, and talked about Wang Li's investment in the ancient oriental country in the future. As a result, the officials who had received the "benefits" immediately started to say things like "everything is fine" and "everything is smooth sailing".

The dinner ended in this weird atmosphere.

In fact, this was just a sudden idea that some officials came up with. Officials are also human beings. They also want to meet foreign superstars. They also have families, and their families also worship idols. Wang Li obviously meets the identity of this idol, so they used their power to specially invite Wang Li. These are things that ordinary fans cannot do.

However, for this kind of thing, Wang Li just needs to put on a smiling face, which is really good for him. Although it is a bit troublesome, it doesn’t matter, right?

There's nothing better than having a free meal and getting all kinds of guarantees.

Under the arrangement of these government officials, Wang Li held a press conference at 4:30 p.m. that day.

Originally, he didn't want to act so high-profile, but since the whole world knew he was in Shanghai, hiding it would be useless and would only attract more reporters to interview him. He simply held a press conference to meet the needs of some reporters, which would benefit both parties.

Just as the press conference began, a reporter from the Imperial Court asked, "Wang Li, can you tell us about your recent plans? How long do you plan to stay in China?"

Wang Li thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should stay here for more than half a month, then reunite with the team, participate in a few friendly matches in various East Asian countries, and then return to Spain with the team."

"So, where's your next stop?"

Wang Li smiled and said, "It depends on my agent's arrangement. I'm not sure about it right now."

"This is your second time in China. Can you tell me about your experience? How do the fans and environment here compare to Europe?"

"I like the fans from the ancient oriental country very much. I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw them. I was deeply touched when I was at the airport. I think my regret is that I can't sign autographs for all the fans and meet the requirements of each of them."

At this time, Wang Li's old acquaintance, Xue Tao, a reporter from Sports Weekly, stood up and asked, "Can you predict the score between Real Madrid and the Oriental Ancient Country Football Team?"

Wang Li smiled and greeted them, saying, "I have never seen the ancient Eastern country football team, and of course I don't know their strength. But I think there are so many lovely fans here, so your football team must be strong. I think I will do my best to win in the game."

What he said was very conservative, but he just didn't want to undermine the confidence of his compatriots, but what he said was true that he would try his best in the game. Facing the team of his own country, the only way to show respect is to play the game seriously.

However, after hearing this, the reporters in the audience could already foresee that the national team would be in trouble. Look at this black-haired kid. He can get past half of the backcourt of the European giants. If the opponent is the ancient Eastern football team that always loses to some small countries, then the result is really hard to imagine.

That night, Wang Li and his colleagues went directly to Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

This was his first time in Hangzhou. Compared with Shanghai, the outskirts of the city had a more rural feel, which made Wang Li feel very comfortable. The Zhejiang basketball team's stadium was located in the north of Hangzhou.

After arriving in Hangzhou, Wang Li went to his own basketball stadium eagerly. After all, this was his first investment, and he felt a sense of striving and intimacy.

After Rita showed her identity, the team's head coach and some managers immediately rushed to the team.

In fact, although Rita helped Wang Li buy the basketball team, basically no one in the team knew the identity of the boss, and the team's managers all had many suspicions about this mysterious boss.

But no matter how they guessed, they could not have imagined that this boss would be a European superstar who was completely unrelated to him!!

Sun Jialiang is a staff member of the Zhejiang Quangang Team. He is in charge of the team's logistics, responsible for arranging the team's games, meals, hotels and other matters. In May of this year, he heard that the team had changed its owner, and he has been worried about losing his job.

However, two months have passed and this mysterious boss has not shown up, and there have been no changes in the team. They are still playing, doing what they are supposed to do, and still getting their salaries and eating as usual. This situation has left everyone puzzled and there are many different opinions about this boss behind the scenes.

Today was just an ordinary day. Although the team had training, there were no important games these days, and Sun Jialiang's work was also very leisurely. However, the team's head coach suddenly called him and said that the team's boss was here and asked him to rush over immediately!

This news made Sun Jialiang panic!

But in the midst of panic, he was also somewhat expectant, after all, he would soon know the identity of this mysterious boss.

When he arrived at the team's training ground, it was already past nine in the evening. He found that the lights were on in the training ground, so he walked in slowly and saw some familiar faces in the team standing next to the court. In the court, there was the sound of basketballs hitting the ground. He trotted over and asked, "Where's the boss? What's wrong?"

"Don't talk." At this time, someone next to him made a gesture to be quiet and signaled Sun Jialiang to look forward.

It didn't matter that he saw it, but he was shocked! !

That boy shooting a basketball on the court looks so familiar!

After being stunned for a few seconds, Sun Jialiang realized that it was the most popular European superstar in recent months - Allen Wang, whose Chinese name is Wang Li.

"Why is he here?"

Surprised and puzzled, someone next to him immediately told him that this was the boss. He was shocked by the news and couldn't believe it. But when he slowly turned his gaze to the court, he was immediately shocked by another incredible scene.

On the field, I saw the super football player standing in the center circle, throwing the ball with one hand and shooting it. There was a staff member next to him who kept passing the ball to him.

The first one went into the net.

The second one hit the backboard and went into the net.

The third hollow into the net

The nth one hit the basket and flew out.

“How is this possible!!”

Everyone had this idea. You have to know that it was the center circle, and the football star was shooting with one hand. Even an NBA three-point shooter would not have such a high hit rate for a shot from this distance.

But now, this football star has done it, which is incredible.

"I think if he plays basketball, he will definitely do well." Sun Jialiang said blankly.

Everyone around nodded in unison.

In fact, when Wang Li came to the gym, he just wanted to play basketball. He had never touched a basketball since he came to this world, so his shooting was not accurate at the beginning.

However, when a basketball went in, he found the feeling. You know, his hands are much stronger than his feet. In terms of controlling internal force, his hands are obviously more flexible.

So in his subsequent shots, he just kept copying the movements of the first goal.

After failing to make the last shot, he lost interest and turned his attention back to the managers of these teams.

Today, Wang Li didn't have much to do. He knew nothing about basketball or investment, and he wasn't in the mood to give orders casually, so he just wanted them to meet him and know who the team belonged to, that's all.

So, he just said a few words casually and let them leave, but what he didn't know was how much impact this simple and casual idea would have on this basketball team!

By the next morning, fans in the entire ancient Eastern country knew that the Zhejiang All Steel Team was Wang Li’s property and his first investment in the ancient Eastern country! !

Investing in sports!!

The media in the ancient oriental country immediately seized on this revelation and reported it enthusiastically. Some media even speculated how much money Wang Li would invest in this team.

The Zhejiang Quangang team, which had been unknown before, suddenly had a lot more fans, and the attendance rate of each game was several times higher than before! !

Many fans came for Wang Li's reputation. They felt that if they watched the Zhejiang All Steel Team's games, they might have a chance to meet Wang Li. With this publicity offensive, the Zhejiang All Steel Team's reputation became more and more famous, and the players also had the motivation to strive forward. After all, the boss is a superstar. Although they are not in the same field, who doesn't want to be a superstar?

For basketball players, their dream is naturally to develop in the NBA. Now that the team's owner is a superstar, he will definitely not hold on to good players like some teams do. So as long as they have the ability, they will definitely have the opportunity to enter the NBA. This idea makes the players work hard.

Zhejiang All Steel Team suddenly has a new look

These had nothing to do with Wang Li. In fact, he only stayed in Hangzhou for one day before rushing to Yanjing. He then participated in the advertising shooting activities of the ancient Eastern Mobile Monopoly Company, the news event publicity of the milk industry monopoly giant, etc., and was busy according to the schedule arranged for him by Rita.

This busyness lasted for a week. After a week, he finally completed the requirements of the contract and returned to Chengdu from Hong Kong.

At the same time, the Royal Madrid Club's special plane also arrived at Chengdu International Airport.
